Help with 24p in avid

[Waheed AlQawasmi]

I am sure that this has been answered before, but I can not find it any where on line. So here we go, I shot my feature film over the summer with a dvx100, and now I am just about done with it. I shot it with the "F5 settings" captured everything to a 23.976 fps project.

I am trying to export few clips for some after effects treatments, and I keep getting these interlaced lines on the clips, its really bugging me, because I exported everything "UNCOMPRESSED" quicktime movie, but I am still getting the problem.

My project is 23.976 fps, under my "Film and 24P settings" I have advanced 2:3:3:2 pull down selected, so if anyone can help please responed to this ASAP, i really need to figure this thing out soon.

Oh here is a link to a grab of the problem i am having.

PS: When I export the thing in AVI I get no interlacing, but I hate the AVI compression its digital, all the lines are sharper.

What version are you running? There were some codec issues in the v.4 early 5 series that had export problems with the DV codec. As a test to verify this, take a sequence of 8-10 frames that has motion and transcode it to 28:1 and export a JPG again and let us know if there is still an interlace issue.

I am running Avid 5.2.2. I am not sure how you would transcode somthing to 28:1, I will look it up. But you know what else is really strange, when I export the files as TIFF sequences, it has interlacing in it as well, I am not sure why, I mean its a TIFF sequence, not suppose to happen to a picture sequence.

sounds like the DV codec issue. Transcode is available under the clip menu as part iof the consolidate selection.

Great, let me play around with that and see if it works or not.

And it was fixed in a later release... once confirmed.
